Dilwara Temples
This complex consisting of five marble Jain temples is one of the finest in
Rajasthan, worth braving the queues and ferocious guards. These beautifully
carved temples built between 11th & 13th century AD are sheer elegance
in marble, dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras. The Vimal Vasahi Temple is
the oldest of these, dedicated to the first Tirthankara. Built in 1031 AD
(by Vimal Shah- a merchant and representative of the then Gujarat ruler), it
is a superb example of temple architecture.
